To be a specific, I'm more into the Epic Fantasies, and Swords and Sorcery. Male protagonists are preferred, but if the series is really good I could read a female protagonist based book too.

Some of my favorite works are by Brandon Sanderson, pretty much everything he has written I really enjoyed. The one I haven't read is Elantris. I tried and couldn't get into it.


/e I also forgot to mention I'm more interested in series that follow the same characters. Not really into ones that change characters every book (i.e. I really enjoyed Legend by David Gemmell, but the next book in the series isn't one I enjoy because it doesn't follow the same characters.

I have read that also. Pretty solid series. The fool is by far one of the best characters I've ever had the chance to read about

Go read Worm by Wildbow.

An introverted teenage girl with an unconventional superpower, Taylor goes out in costume to find escape from a deeply unhappy and frustrated civilian life. Her first attempt at taking down a supervillain sees her mistaken for one, thrusting her into the midst of the local ‘cape’ scene’s politics, unwritten rules, and ambiguous morals. As she risks life and limb, Taylor faces the dilemma of having to do the wrong things for the right reasons.

The story, titled Worm, takes the form of a web serial, posted in bite-sized reads in much the same way that authors such as Mark Twain would release their works one chapter at a time in the days before full-fledged novels. Worm started in June 2011, updating twice a week, and finished in late November, 2013. It totals roughly 1,680,000 words; roughly 26 typical novels in length (or 10-11 very thick novels). The story updated on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with bonus chapters appearing on the occasional Thursday, as explained below.

The actual work is divided into a number of story arcs, each containing five to sixteen individual chapters. Interludes (side stories) are inserted between each story arc to showcase events from different perspectives or provide some background information that the reader wouldn’t get from Taylor’s point of view. Further interludes were released as bonus content when the audience reached specific donation goals, but these were found to distract from the core story (with a good reception, but still) and were paced out more in favor of additional main-story chapters.

Start the RA Salvatore books, they sound like they'd be right up your alley. I believe the first one is titled "Homeland" they're excellent.
